The system requirements linked from the download page state that Oracle’s Java requires the following: The second set is available via the Java download page for Mac OS X. Administrator privileges for installation.Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.8.3+, 10.9+.This page states that Java 8 requires the following: The first set is available via Oracle’s general Java system requirements page. The root of the confusion lies in the fact that Oracle has listed two different sets of system requirements on their website for Macs running Java 8 on Mac OS X. This issue was lent additional urgency in the wake of Oracle’s announcement that they will begin auto-updating Java 7 users to Java 8 starting in January 2015. Now you can change the java version on the terminal using the respective alias: $ j17 openjdk version '17.0.1' OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 17.0.1+0) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 17.0.1+0, mixed mode, sharing) $ j11 openjdk version '11.0.12' OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 11.0.12+0) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 11.0.12+0, mixed mode) $ j1.8 openjdk version '1.8.0_312' OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_312-bre_2021_10_20_23_15-b00) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.With Oracle’s Java 8, there’s been some confusion as to whether Java 8 runs on Mac OS X 10.7.5. zshrc for me) so it is available in all terminal sessions. Make sure to add the javahome function to your shell init file (. javahome() alias j1.8='javahome 1.8' alias j11='javahome 11' alias j17='javahome 17' I prefer the javahome shell function below rather than adding new values to PATH.

Installing JDKs with brew also recommends adding /usr/local/opt/openjdkXX/bin to PATH. Setting the symlink after every installation step is important for the system Java wrappers to find the installed JDK. That includes JAVA LTS releases 17, 11, 8: # version 17 brew install sudo ln -sfn /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-17.jdk # version 11 brew install sudo ln -sfn /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.jdk # version 8 brew install sudo ln -sfn /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-8.jdk On Mac you can install Java/JVM with brew’s openjdk formulae. While focusing on one Java version at Miro, we’d like to share in this write-up how to switch between Java/JDK versions on Mac via the command line. Also we like to share our reflections and engage with the community.
